Money is a subject that can easily become taboo, especially when it comes to earning a lot. Which did not prevent Zazie, when she was questioned Thursday, October 27 by 20 minutes on his latest EP released at the end of September, to admit having “the chance to win well” his life through his profession. Which has, at least, the merit of being clear. Moreover, this is not the first time that she assumes it, since she already made this declaration last September on the airwaves of RFM, after delivering an anecdote about his neighbour.
“Do we make music to sell? To live, yeah. We live very well. In the same way that I accept very well that people like or dislike such a remark, such a concept, such a subject, I have the impression that they give me the right, for thirty years that it lasts, to continue to be myself”, she added.
To release an album is not to want to sell an album
But beware, this does not mean that the former coach of The Voice and mother of Lola, born of her union with the musician Fabien Cahen is obsessed with numbers, quite the contrary. Because certainly, even if it is part of “rare artists who love to know how many records they sell“, she goes away “don’t care to know that[elle] sold less” than previously. “Releasing an album is not really about wanting to sell an album. I think that more and more I will try to direct myself towards that (to leave freedom of format of disc and not to make promotion, editor’s note). I think it’s not bad to give people the choice, even if we sell less. It is also a politeness to have in this world of solicitations, of constant consumption”, she explained.
A desire therefore to maintain a certain artistic freedom and expression, which “doesn’t mean that I won’t make a scene anymore and that people won’t see me anymore, but that people will see me less“, she however nuanced. Note that the singer was recently (this summer) talking about her for her change of look.
